Hi there,

I have been discussing some things with a Catholic friend of mine, and cannot find anything regarding the Protestant view of why the Deuterocanonical books are non considered part of the canon. So my questions are:

1) Why do we not consider them to be part of the canon?
2) How do I answer this? http://www.catholicbasictraining.com/apologetics/coursetexts/1m.htm

Please be aware that (if I am correct), the apocrapha is not the deuterocanon.

Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Graham
